RESERVOIR FOR FOUNTAIN-SYRINGES.

sPRcPIcATIoN forming part of Letters Patent No. 344.016. dated June 22| 1886 Application tiled September :26, 1885. Serial No. 178.217. (Model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES A. TATUM, a resident of New York city, lin the county and State of New York, have invented an Im* proved Reservoir for Fountain-Syringes, of

which the following is a full, clear, and eX- act description, reference being made to the l accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure l is a side View of my improved res- 1c ervoir for a fountain-syringe. Fig. 2 isa vertical section through the same. Fig. 3 is a side or edge view of the same. Fig. 4 is a crosssection of the same on the line c c, Fig. 1, showing it inflated, and Fig. 5 is a similar section showing it collapsed.

This invention relates to improvements in reservoirs for fountainsyringes, whereby said reservoir shall be made more capacious for real use, and less bulky when to be stored 2o away or transported.

My invention consists, rst, in providing such a reservoir with an inward fold at each side, each fold extending to a line with the neck of the reservoir, so that said neck will connect only with the face-pieces ot' the reservoir.

In the drawings, the letterA represents the bag proper ofthe reservoir. It has substantially straight edges, as in Fig. 1. B is its 5o neck, which forms the mouth or fillingopening. y

The bag proper, A, which is made of indiarubb or other water-proof material, is shaped as shown in Figs. 1 and 5, with an inward fold, a, on each side-that is to say, on the outside ofthe dotted lines b b, which are shown in Fig. 1, and which ext-end downward from the outer side of the mouth B, and are about half as far apart as the bag is wide. The bag 4o A is made of four thicknesses, the two outer thicknesses, d d, being continuations of the faces of the bag,'(see Fig. 5.) while the two inner thicknesses, e c, extend inward between these faces, each about one-fourth the widt-h of the bag.

g is an ear attached to the mouth of the bag for suspending it from a suitable support.

h is the discharge-pipe at the .lower end of the bag or reservoir.

At the ends the inner pieces, e., are rounded 5o and joined by proper seaming to the outer faces of the bag. Vhen the reservoir is filled, theparts e c form the sides of the bag, and cause the entire bag to be of substantially quadrangular cross-section. At the same time the bag, when expanded, is capable of assuming the rounded corners shown in Fig. 4, which leave its faces substantially dat, so that the bag will rest fairly against a flat wall or post. The inner lines, b b, of the side pieces, e e, are, 6o as appears from Fig. 1, aligned with the neck B, so that said neck is joined only to the two face-pieces d d, to which in turn the side pieces, e c, are attached by seams. This construction facilitates tlie manufacture of the ari ticle.

I do notclaim extending the inward folds to the center of the bag, as in Patent No. 214,552, as such a construction requires the folding parts to be directly joined to the neck of the bag.

I claim- The reservoir A, composed of the folded side pieces, e e, the flat face-pieces d d, the neck B, and discharge pipe h, the said neck B being attached only to the said two facepieces d d, and not to the side pieces, e e, substantially as herein shown and described.

CHARLES A.. TATUM.
